Im emily cohen deputy deck of homelessness and Supportive Housing we have several items before you the first is a resolution to approve the third amendment to our contract with the homeless Prenatal Program for Prevention Services and Financial Assistance. This would extend the concern term from september 23 through june to the end of june of 2027 and increase the not to exceed amount to a total of 23 approximately 23 Million Dollars. The Grant Agreement funds Homelessness Prevention through the San FranciscoEmergency Rental Assistance Program or sfeva. Homeless prenatal through the project screens and identifies households at risk of homelessness and distributed Financial Assistance to help support back rent, future rent and move in assistance to help families avoid becoming homeless. The agreement does serve individuals and families. Although homeless prein theal has an expertise in serving families with Young Children and women who are pregnant. The contract goal are to assist a minimum of 282 house holds and serve a minimum of 212 households with Financial Assistance. In last fiscal year hpp assisted 511 households which is 220 of contract goal. And 5 upon 11 households took an average of 2. 2 days for them to issue assistance to the applicants looking for assistance services. Which is half of the goal stated in the contract which is 5 days to administer assist analysis. To offer context on the San Francisco program, this is a major tool in our city Homelessness Prevention strategy and administered by hsh and Mayors Office of housing and community development. Launch in the spring of 21 as Covid Response to ai haved eviction during the pandemic. When the state closed their program in april of 22, San Francisco expanded eligibility for local prevention programs. In september 2022, the program stopped accepting applications due to a significant backlog and in february, 2023, reopened after processing everyone in the queue. We have a more targeted eligibility requirement for the program this focuses on prevention for households most in need without overwhelmed. Trying to focus on households like low to become homelessnessp homeless with this investment. Hpp is one of 7 contractors for administration of the program distribute it is 9. 9 Million Dollars to over 1400 households. And want to mention that from our Program Monitoring of this contract we have successful out come random sampling of clients in the First Quarter of fy21 and 2. 89 did in the return for service after receiving prevention and 81 of the group did in the return within 12 months. Reflecting that effective the Program Helps facilitate effective exits out of crisis. And i am joined by lilly and the team from homeless prenatal if you have questions. Thank you. Thank you. Director cohen. The question i have i mean this sounds great and the work is important and i am i think it is grit that the time to respond is significant low shorter than the goal that has been set. Im curious the number of families assisted being larger than the goal set. How is that is the amount that is spent per family less than anticipated . Or how does this number double. Why do you want to respond to that . Im lilly im director of programs im with my team brianna and stefani. I think that we could say this the goals were long know standing goals are targets and then when covid began a surge of resources and mead and we did not raise the goal at this time we were not sure. We need to get the money out the door and see and thats where they experienced success we had the infrastructure and could scale. And other resources from other places. Yes. We leverage all programs to be able to maximize the affect. Thank you we have a report from bla . Good morning nick from bla. Item one a resolution approving the third amendment to the Grant Agreement between hsh and the homeless Prenatal Program it extented the agreement and increases not to exceed by 13. 6 Million Dollars to 23. 5 Million Dollars. This program prosecute provides rental assistance. To people to prevent homelessness, we looked did not see performance issues when we looked at the monitoring report or any Financial Management issues. With this contractor and noted, and in fact they are serving more clients than targeted. So you will see that on page 4 of our report where we show the budget for the Grant Agreement it is 50 Million Dollars a year. Going forward it looks like that is less than what has been spent. And prior years buzz they were serving more than contracted for there is a 20 contingency built in the not to exceed amount to accommodate client targets. We recommend approval of item one.

Increasing the agreement amount by approximately 17. 4 million for a total aim approximately 20. 3 million and authorizing hsh to enter in addition amendments or modifications to the agreement contracted not increasing the obligations or materially decrease the benefits to the city. Member who is wish to comment call the number scrolling across the screen and enter the meeting id. Press pound twiesz after you do that. Good morning, again this second item before you is a reds lugz to authorize hsh to enter in the First Amendment with to our Grant Agreement with brilliant cornys to administer the respectid rehousing program for young adults. This would extend the term by 2 years to the end of june of 2026. And increase the amount of the contract by 17 Million Dollars for a total not to compete of approximately 27 million. Coming back before this the expiration of the contract and spent down the funds more quickly than originally anticipated. The agreement the program out lined in the Agreement Service young adults between 18 to 24 to exit homelessness as part of the rise up initiateave a Partnership Began in 2018 to reduce homelessness. Participates in rapid rehousing brilliant corner provides rental assistance. Housing location assistance and landlord Liaison Services for the tenants. We have a contract with other agency to provide the support services and Case Management. Rising up Rapid Rehousing Program approach that is different than the Rapid Rehousing Programs for adult and families. Each youth in the program is allocated 20 thousand dollars worth of subsidy they can use over 3 years or more quickly if need. If they are able to stabilize house nothing advance and consistent low making payments and have consistent employment they can cash out and use that money toward education or other costs. Creates an incentive too to stabilize and creative part of the program. Any time brilliant cornys serving 175 youth in the Rapid Housing Program and total of 830 units of housing for young adults across, 340 of those are rapid rehousing with 175 within this contract. The average month low subsidy is over 1400 dollars. And the program is served 406 young adults between the star of this guarantee agreement and june of 2023. The clients learning low reflect the community of people experiencing homelessness. As you will see there is 68 of the population in the program is africanamerican. Really doing a good job of targeting people who need the program the most. 22 latin a. 24 lbgtq and 4 tngc what we see in the young Adult Population experiencing homelessness. Of note in our monitoring for the project 97 of young people housed in the program remain housed for at least a year after the program expired. Or subsidy expired. Really good out come from the project. Why 97 . 97 remain stable house for at least a year or exited other permanent housing after the subsidy wound down. And and after 2 years we have 72 housing retention. And i am joined by my colleagues brilliant corners jennifer and tyler if you have questions as. Well. Im curious about the long are term stabilization and how are you tracking people at 3 years . And and i mean, how do you set the gospel 80 . How do you know if 72 is good or bad . I money it seems pretty unfortunate this 30 of youth participate negligent program are endingum. Homeless or what are we defining housing stability and instability . Great questions so, 97 after a year are going to 72 in 2 years either remained in the unit they were place in the or moved to, permanent housing state we define as remaining housed either unit they were initial low housed in they transferred to permanent Supportive Housing than i are higher needs or moved a different unit considered stablely housed. Unstable exit i reattorney to homelessness or a return to institutional setting. Or an unknown destination that is institutional set something it would be incarceration, constitutional Behavioral Health care, et cetera. When we have here of the 30 hor not stable low housed after 3 years 11 left and went to shelter. 11 became home will against. 2 to institutional seth. 6 became home and wills did not go to a shelter and 12 unknown destination. As rapid rehousing goes, this is consistent weapon when we see nationally. These are good out come upon given this rapid rehousing is an effective alternative to shelter. People have 23 years in permanent homes to get their feet on the ground, to earn income, to finish school. To achieve goals and 72 success rate is quite good for this time program. We see our most success in the program with families and with young adults. It seems like the 12 you dont know. How do you that ask not good. We dont. Yes. All right. Supervisor melgar. I was requesting about the 12 we dont know. Is that consistent across programs we lose track of folks or they dont answer the questionnaire . Yes upon exit we ask people where they are going and if they dont answer the question or leave the unit and dont leave Contact Information or follow up information or dont respond to calls we mark that from the provide are marking it unknown quit 89 do. Which is irrelevant high it is. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Lets hear from the bla item 2 a resolution that approves the First Amendment to the department of homelessness and spicht Housing Contract with brilliant corners for rapid rehousing for young did you tells increases to 27. 3 Million Dollars and term by 2 years. Through june of 2026. Under this program, brilliant cornys helps subsidize housing costs. For youth and the youth themselves that participate in the program pay up to 50 of income with the rest subdoized through this program. There is a cap of 20 thousand dollars over 3 years. Which i think explains why there is a determine off in the second and third year of the program because the level of the Housing Assistance is in the sufficient to carry someone for 3 years. It is a housing cost issue and Program Design issue you see that fall off, you can see the budget for this program on page 12 of our report it is 5. 5 Million Dollars budget funded by prop c homeless tax revenues the bulk of this 70 going to the program participates. We didnt see performance or Financial Management issues we recommend approval item 2. Thank you. May be a question back to hsh. Director cohen. Is i mean i would assume the longer someone is stablely housed the greater housing stability over time. So. This issue that the bla identified may be the amount is not great enough to be how why are we thinking 3 years is the right number and if it is is, should we the goal be to be paying for people to be stablely housed for 3 years. Would this make a difference in the 72 versus 78 . It would they would be stablely houses. In the after, after the subsidy falls off. Right. Good question and something i think the over all homeless system locally and nationally is grappling with how long is appropriate amount of time for rapid rehousing. In many communities it is 69 months given or community is high cost we offer it as a 2 year for young adults extended 3 years. And have the option if the young adult is on the subsidy and he needs support, there is an option to extend. We can go longer. If youth feel they need the on going subsidy we case manager and make that recommendation. So we have flexibility in the program to go longer. One of the creative and innovative parts of the program the youth have a lot of over site and authority over how to spends it and can choose to use them to invest in education. And other options. I think it does it is designed to be a tolerant based model and has the flexibility to go shorter or longer depending what they feel is appropriate. Thank you. Open up to Public Comment. Thank you. A
